"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fox Sports writer Jason Whitlock apologized for his inappropriate tweet about Jeremy Lin after the Knicks\u2019 sensation point guard scored 38 points in the win against the Lakers, according to Fox Sports.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After the Knicks' win, Whitlock tweeted, \u201CSome lucky lady in NYC is gonna feel a couple inches of pain tonight.\u201D\u00A0 Shortly after, Whitlock issued an apologetic statement saying, \u201CThe couple-inches-of-pain tweet overshadowed my sincere celebration of Lin\u2019s performance and the irony that the stereotype applies to pot-bellied, overweight male sports writers, too. As the Asian American Journalist Association pointed out, I debased a feel-good sports moment. For that, I\u2019m truly sorry.\u201D&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whitlock\u2019s apology came after the Asian American Journal Association expressed their \u201Coutrage\u201D at Whitlock\u2019s tweet through a letter posted on the AAJA Facebook page.\nAgainst the Lakers, Lin continued to shock \u00A0the world scoring 38 points, seven assists, and four rebounds.\u00A0 Once cut by both the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets, Lin continues to rise up to the occasion winning all of his first five starts with the Knicks despite the absence of star players Carmelo Anthony and Amar\u2019e Stoudemire.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
